With Germany winning their fourth World Cup title, they join two other nations who have achieved the feat – Brazil (who won it five times) and Italy.

But look beyond the titles and you’ll see that Germany have been the most consistent team in World Cups.

Die Mannschaft have reached the final a record 8 times now. What’s more, they have reached the semi-finals 13 times in 20 World Cups! That is a phenomenal record.

They have even finished third 12 times, the next closest is Brazil with 9.
